HOW THE CORP IS MAKING SLOW CONNECTIONS A THING OF THE PAST<br />
LET’S TALK CITY:<br />
Catherine McGuinness, the<br />
<strong>City</strong> of London’s policy<br />
chairman, explains how<br />
the authority is working<br />
to ensure residents are<br />
no longer hampered by<br />
sluggish broadband<br />
We’re better<br />
connected<br />
THERE is nothing more frustrating than when<br />
the little wheel on your screen keeps going<br />
round and round and you’re in the middle<br />
of the best part of a film that you’ve been<br />
streaming, or when you can’t connect when<br />
you’re up against a deadline.<br />
In today’s modern world a fast Internet<br />
connection should be a basic human right, now<br />
more than ever before.<br />
Our lives have come to rely heavily on<br />
technology, be it to do business, read the daily<br />
news on a phone or tablet, catch up on the latest<br />
episode on Netflix or send emails from your<br />
computer.<br />
The Internet and the speed of it has become a<br />
necessity, not a luxury.<br />
Limited<br />
Historically the Capital has suffered from poor<br />
broadband speeds, with London being ranked<br />
26th out of 33 European capitals with the worst<br />
broadband speed.<br />
Most of the social housing estates across<br />
London run by the <strong>City</strong> of London Corporation<br />
only have copper wire broadband, which is<br />
limited to speeds of 10 megabits per second or<br />
less.<br />
We are now partnering with fibre providers<br />
Community Fibre, Hyperoptic and Vision Fibre<br />
Media to connect all of our housing estates with<br />
‘Fibre To The Premises’ (FTTP).<br />
FTTP will offer faster broadband – speeds up<br />
to one gigabit per second – at affordable prices,<br />
with a low priced, no contract option broadband<br />
service for those on benefits or low incomes.<br />
FTTP provides a fibre optic connection all the<br />
way from the telephone exchange to your home,<br />
whereas traditional fibre broadband or FTTC<br />
(Fibre-to-the-Cabinet) is a fibre connection<br />
to your local on-street cabinet, then a copper<br />
connection from the cabinet to your home –<br />
making everything a whole lot slower.<br />
FTTP will be rolled out to all 7,500 residents in<br />
the 12 central London housing estates which we<br />
run, by mid-2019. First to receive the superfast<br />
broadband or FTTP service will be residents<br />
living on the Avondale and Southwark estates.<br />
Installation has started and will be completed in<br />
two weeks.<br />
These new broadband services will stretch<br />
across all our housing in six London boroughs<br />
including Hackney, Islington, Lambeth,<br />
Lewisham, Tower Hamlets and, of course, here<br />
in the <strong>City</strong> of London. And communal areas on<br />
each estate will also benefit from a one gigabit<br />
per second WiFi hotspot for residents to use.<br />
The <strong>City</strong> of London Corporation continues<br />
talk to the government and the telecoms industry<br />
to respond to the pressing need to provide faster<br />
broadband for residents at an affordable price.<br />
Many local authorities are still viewed as a<br />
major barrier to providing improved broadband<br />
coverage to social housing estates. But our roll<br />
out of FTTP seeks to ensure that our residents<br />
are connected with first-class broadband at an<br />
affordable price.<br />
Soon, residents will be able to enjoy vastly<br />
improved wireless connectivity, and this project<br />
should ensure that a slow connection across the<br />
<strong>City</strong> of London’s social housing estates and in the<br />
Square Mile is a thing of the past.
